please help

I am a complete newbie at C++ and i am havind difficulties. It probably sounds like a stupid question, but when i try to compile anything, or run anything(with bloodshed 4) it says there is an error with the resource file. Being a newb, i have no idea what a resource file is. What do I do to be able to run and compile the programs? I am prety sure there is nothing wrong with the program as they are tutorials off of bloodshed websites, for the 4th version. Please help if you know what i am doing wrong,
Thanks.

Resource file? That sounds like you are compiling a win32 program. Choose to make a console program insteed and it should work (I have never used bloodshed 4). Also post relevant code that causes the error.
